Re: Testing
They're Seachem. Both are easy to do. The magnesium one also includes alkalinity.

Re: Testing
There are highly accurate electronic devices that can test just about all the chemicals and you could easily spend a grand on them. (Foster and Smith sells them). Has anyone compared the the dropper tests with more, scientifically accurate devices?

Re: Testing
That all depends Lights.
I'm planning on getting a photometer for phosphates.Only because the dropper kits dont pick up organic phosphates,and those build up just like nitrates.

Re: Testing
The strips are good only for nitrates. everything else is usally off.
As for test kits, aim for something decent like salifert or elos. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 150g, 24g,8g Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: About 1 Year Other Intrests: Computers, Robotics
